Fencepost

Such bitter winds blow
And we've heard it all day
There's nothing between these fencepost rows
To make the dirt decide to stay

Last spring when we pruned the roses
Red snow on the ground
Put my ear to a fencepost
Couldn't hear a sound

And now there's a light rain falling
Everything's gonna be fine
Except maybe now we're wishing
It would all be dry

And now there's a light rain falling
Everything's gonna be fine
Except maybe now we're wishing
It would be all day, be all night

Wire stretched between fenceposts
Wire stretched on the wall
Talking to a nail in a fencepost
Talking at the wall

This fall when I plow the fields under
I'll be thinking only of you
Shadow shaped from flock of starling
Flying south, too

And now there's a light rain falling
Everything's gonna be fine
Except maybe now we're wishing
It would all be dry

And now there's a light rain falling
Everything's gonna be fine
Except maybe now we're wishing
You could stay all day, stay all night

Wrap up my troubles in a cloth
And tie it round my waist
I'm gonna go for a long long walk
Be gone a hundred days

And now there's a light rain falling
Everything's gonna be fine
Except maybe now we're wishing
It would all be dry

Nobody got nothing to say
That ain't better shown or done
Here, let me demonstrate
Gotta go. Gotta run
